Real Bayberry Taper Candles 6-inch

These true bayberry wax candles are sold by the pair (2 candles). They are attached at the wick as they are hand-dipped with real bayberry wax and just a touch of beeswax for strength. All-natural. No artificial colors or fragrances added. Cotton wick.

"A bayberry candle, burned to the socket, puts luck in the home, food in the larder, and gold in the pocket." - a New England tradition

Bayberry candles are made from the wax of the bayberry plant that grows in New England and in the Southeast. They are traditionally burned on Christmas Eve and/or New Years Eve for good luck for the coming year. Light your bayberry candle late in the afternoon and allow it to burn down completely. You may see a light white coating that is a natural tendency for these all-natural candles. You can buff them back to a sheen with a soft cloth.

Please note: These candles are not artificially scented. The only fragrance is from the natural bayberry wax. If you would like scented bayberry candles, please see the Colonial Candle scented bayberry candle gift set below.

this is definately real bayberry wax as it is a bit fragile, but with the addition of beeswax, it makes for a more reliable product that burned nicely and gave off a pleasant scent -- will buy again for the Holidays~

the scent of bayberry means Christmas in all of it's dimensions...it means home and family and Love. Our family has burned bayberry candles during the holiday but particularly on Christmas eve right after the candlelight service at church
